the cato to annie pipeline is still real to me btw and something i think about because katniss is here thinking about both of them like "wow they are mentally ill" except she's legitimately scared of one and sees the other as docile/meek/an extension of her boyfriend/odd/non-threatening.

but what katniss doesn't seem to remember is annie came from a career district so not only could annie have easily been (and probably was) raised with a similar rhetoric/propaganda/mindset as cato but she also could have terrified the other kids in her arena the same way he did. they became trained killers but they're both exposed to the harsh realities of the arena, watch someone they care about die in a horrifically violent way, and lose themselves/their minds/what they were raised to believe in because of it

SPOILERS for jjk 236

the afterlife section was insane n almost reads like it was written by a doujin author

i think this is the first time we ever see some semblance of regret from geto’s perspective and it makes it so much more bittersweet when considering that it’s almost certainly just an illusion or a figment of gojo’s imagination as he lays dying.

the FIRST thing he thinks about in his last breath is to imagine a geto who was regretful, while in canon he never showed that at all…saying “no matter what, i hate monkeys” and “in a world like this, i cant laugh from my heart” to his best friend AS HE BLEEDS OUT..at least say something nice damn

geto was so afraid of regretting his decision that he made sure there was no chance he could ever go back to his old life again, cutting ties with the home he once found in jujutsu society to create a new home for himself

in that way, i think geto is very future-oriented compared to gojo being constantly stuck in the past; geto was 100% dedicated to his revolution which was (as with most revolutions) all about seeking a new future because the state of the present was unacceptable

gojo on the other hand stuck with the existing system, and we’re shown over and over again how he cannot help but linger on the past. gojo’s present tense “My best friend, the only one I have” to geto’s future tense “He was my best friend.” gojo who didnt dispose of the body. gojo who made that face when seeing kenjaku. gojo who teleported immediately to kenjaku after being unboxed... his narrative has been very focused on his lingering attachment to the past and his refusal to let go; even his choice in becoming a teacher was influenced by his wish of preventing the past from happening again

back to the recent chapter, gojo imagining a life where geto is there to cheer him on and saying that’s the only way he could be completely satisfied??? hello 😭😭😭 the fact that geto is in his gojokesa and not a teacher uniform makes me rip my skin off he really thought abt how things could’ve been with geto and regretted how things turned out so much ahhhhh

imagining geto crying too, the “…….ha ha” I FEEL HOMICIDAL . gojo (presumably) one sidedly wanted geto to feel regret while geto continued to push forward

well its still likely that geto was regretful in some way, hes very repressive about his emotions and never fully expressed how he feels to other characters (which is what led to his downward spiral in the first place) so perhaps he did carry regret that he refuses to think about. but one thing for sure is that he absolutely valued principle and acting with “meaning” over the bond he forged with gojo, and i think he felt so cornered by the system that gojo too became a threat to him. while for gojo, his bond with geto was everything to him and completely changed the course of his life. if he never met gojo, he would be more similar to the child gojo, someone emotionless and brutal who followed his old morality

gojo’s perspective on everything is just… my head hurts aggh…..

HOLLIS WHAT HAPPENED????!!!!! /silly

[kirkwallguy]

this has probably been asked before but whats between marcus and justice

it's KIND of hard to pin down, i mean what i've been saying about enjoying anders and justice being emotionally inseparable so it's kind of hard to say - they're the same person to marcus so he doesn't really feel the need to earn justice's favour once he has anders'. there's maybe a little tension there at first -justice is the distrustful side of anders and is the reason he pulls back from marcus or acts out, justice is also super aware of anders' negative experiences with nonmages, which makes him more reactive and jumpy when marcus acts unpredictably. but after a while together marcus is no longer a threat AND is clearly 'just' (treating anders well), so that protective justice side of him doesn't react so often when marcus is around because he knows anders is safe with him. marcus also really respects the passive traits justice shared with anders (being argumentative, not backing down, etc) so when justice DOES act out dangerously and anders threatens to hurt people he generally keeps a cool head and knows now to deal with it. ofc all this happens after a looot of trial and error and arguments lol. also marcus thinks it's hot when anders gets angry enough to start glowing

life has sucked ass lately (what a decade this year has been!) and will likely get worse before it gets better in the next few months, but i bought myself a pair of beautiful purple leather balmoral boots and maybe things will be okay.

trying to write something academically articulate about the indian lake trilogy but i can't because it is so good it just reduces me to internal shouting and dramatic hand gestures

[i-appear-misssing]

Okay yes I get the emotional value

Like

This was meant to be ed's big emotional sendoff from piracy cause what's even the point if Izzy's not there anymore? He was the heart of piracy itself and he became such a symbol of resiliency through literally whatever and he passed that onto the crew so we get this new generation of pirates who'll carry his spirit on, but he was also the symbol of everything ed was, the legend but also the bad stuff he did and the toxicity they fueled in each other and and and and

Like everything changed when stede came along because ed was already fed up of his old life but he showed him an actual viable alternative with love and softness and acceptance and they all went through a whole journey and yes, okay, they could have kept Izzy alive cause there could have been SO MANY PLACES to take his character and I am so mad about it

But I get it. As a storytelling device I get it. I still hate the shit out of it and I hate that this season was shorter and it felt rushed and there's just not enough.....stuff. Con O'neill stole the fucking show and Izzy was the heart of it and this show deserved so much more in terms of budget and scale and.......yeah I'm mad. Hope they get a renewal but like. Without him?

i am heartsick over Gaza. these vile people in the israeli government have so much blood on their hands, every innocent in Gaza, and every jew around the world as antisemites find an excuse in these horrific attacks to shed more blood.

netanyahu must be charged with war crimes. he must be held accountable for the atrocities he has orchestrated and ordered. for trying to use jewish grief over the attacks by hamas as a justification for slaughtering civilians.

when we say 'never again' we mean for everyone.

woke up to the news that mit finally snapped and sent in police to raze the encampment and arrest the students sleeping and throw away all the encampment supplies and materials (tents, food, books, blankets, etc) into the trash. horrifying and shameful and beyond reprehensible.

thought abt Astarion too hard and my brain sploded sorry. hey if anyone has any hcs abt him shoot em my way

[articulately-composed]

Let me know if I'm missing the mark here, but I think the netflixification of tv shows has ruined their ability to be obsession-worthy, and in turn, is contributing to all of us being just a little bit more depressed.

Maybe it's just me, but an 8 episode series that can be binged in a day does not scratch the itch I need to be scratched. It's a nice little distraction, but once it's over, it's over, and it stops occupying my brain space. I'm not being given enough time to mull over the characters or get excited about the next episode coming out. I was sick this past week, and ended up binging two 8-episode netflix series', and sure, they were good, but they're over now. my brain is done with them.

And I know people have been talking for ages about how the "chuck all the episodes on the streaming platform at once for max bingeability" method is killing fandoms, but I can't help but think it's making us all a bit more depressed too. We have nothing to look forward to week to week. Life is a constant cycle of dragging ourselves to work for the privilege to keep our basic human needs met, and now we don't even have that one day a week we can look forward to to watch our blorbos do something new.

And yes, I know some streaming services have been trying to remedy this by spreading out episode releases, like what Max did with Fionna and Cake, but again. 8 episodes. not enough time to get extremely invested.

basically, I'm just begging networks to bring back 26 ep seasons with weekly releases. Please, I need new blorbos. It's been ages.
